Designer Handbags -- Which Material is Best?
Author: Rufus Steele

With the huge number of different types of designer handbags available to choose from, how do you know which material you want it to be made from?

To a certain degree, it depends on what you want the handbag to do.

Do you want it to compliment an outfit? Do you want it to liven things up a little bit (or a lot) or do you just want it to be durable and long lasting?

The most common material for designer handbags these days is leather.

Strong, highly durable and incredibly tough, leather is a perfect choice for a material.

Bearing in mind that leather also comes in a variety of different types such as cowhide, goatskin, natural, man made etc, there will always be one out there that "feels" right in your hands.

Strong and thick leather will weather well, able to shrug off raindrops and small marks and spills (dependent on the protective coatings and coloring) and will not rip or shred after repeated putting down and picking up off rough floors.

Suede also runs a close second to the leather lines, having many of the same strength and durability properties of leather. Less designer handbags are made from suede as it is a harder material to design a color or style for -- although Coach specifically do a great range of colors and styles in suede handbags!

But what if you want to glam up an outfit or go for something beyond the traditional materials of leather, suede, canvas and nylon mix?

Well -- you're still spoilt for choice.

How about a seat belt bag, made from recycled seat belts in a criss cross pattern? Strong, colorful and very different.

Or the new Licence Plate handbags -- made from cleaned and recycled licence plates, handbags that are literally bent into shape with hinged flaps.

Then there are evening bags, made from velvet.

Ugg handbags, made from treated sheepskin -- some of which also double up as a handbag and muff!

Beijo handbags are made purely from polyvinyl -- tough and incredibly easy to wipe clean.

Some of the Louis Vuitton high end bags are made from a mix of cowhide leather or canvas with ostrich leather for trim and decoration!

You can even still pick up some handbags made from crocodile skin -- albeit from the pre owned market!

The choice of materials is quite mind boggling. Just about anything you can think of as a suitable material to use for building a handbag has already been done.

The only real question is -- What do you want your handbag to say about you?

If your solid, traditional and dependable -- go for leather.

If your funky and chic -- try the seat belt bag.

If your different and a bit of a trend setter, not a trend follower, either go with the Licence Plate handbags or design and make your own.

What's lying about round your house that you could use as a material?

Handbag Tips for Buying Over the Internet
Author: ken sharp
Buying a handbag over the internet can be a daunting task, especially when you see how many websites are selling handbags. As you do your search in your favorite search engine, you will see literally thousands of websites selling handbags. You will find replica handbags, inspired by handbags, authentic handbags, designer handbags...The list goes on and on. But don't be fooled into thinking that a website is really selling authentic handbags, even if they say they are. They could be scam artists, trying to pass off a mirror image handbag as being 100% authentic.

Here are a few tips for you to figure out which one of those thousands of websites are actually selling authentic designer handbags.

When you go into a website, always look for a proof of authenticy. A good website, selling 100% authentic designer handbags, will have a proof of authenticy. If you can't find one anyplace, you should just leave the website, because they could be trying to sell you a fake.

If you run into a website that keeps telling you that all the handbags are of great quality, you should think twice before making a purchase from them. Authentic handbags always have great quality and they don't need to advertise that fact. The brand name stands for quality.

Always look for a money back guarantee. If you are in a website and they do not have a money back gaurantee, then you shouldn't buy from them. When you get the handbag from the mail, you will need to inspect it to make sure it is what you paid for. If it's not, you should be able to return it for a refund.

When you are in a website, check around and make sure that the website has a complete address and phone number. Any website that doesn't have these are not trustworthy and you shouldn't do business with them.

Beware of any company from China who claim to be selling authentic handbags. These companies are selling illegal copywrited handbags and it is against the law. Law enforcement is very scarce in China, and it's easy for these scammers to get away with making and selling illegal, mirror image handbags, complete with logo's, tags, bags and boxes.

Not all websites are selling illegal handbags, but you should be aware of the ones that are. You can get that handbag that you have always wanted for 70% off the retail price, but only if you are looking in the right place.

How much for that designer handbag!
Author: Bag Lady
For as long as I can recall, I have been completely obsessed with designer handbags. I spent the majority of my youth dreaming of the day when I could afford to buy my favorite designer handbags. Here I am, some ten years later, still looking forward to that day. While I have been known to skip out on my bills to buy the latest trendy handbag, I have yet to spend more than $1000.00 on an individual bag. A girl can still dream, can't she?

I was leafing through some catalogs over the weekend, and I was amazed at how incredibly expensive some of the high-end designer handbags really are. I knew they were expensive, but I had no clue how very expensive. Oh…the innocence of youth! I decided that it would be useful for our legion of faithful readers to have a handy reference of the most expensive designer handbags on the planet. So here it goes…

It has been written about countless times in the press and in the blogosphere, but I simply cannot resist this little gem! If I had to name an all-time favorite design house, Fendi would be the one. I don't know how they manage to do it, but they are consistently able to strike an incredible balance between innovation and classic design in all of their creations. Fendi designs some of the most exciting handbags in the fashion industry, and the "B.Bag" is one of the most sought-after handbags in the world. One might think that the $30,000 price tag might be a deterrent, but not for those with the means to support their addiction!

Another bag that has given me far too many sleepless nights is the Hermes "Birkin" bag! These bags were named after Jane Birkin, the oh-so-fabulous British actress and fashion icon. These bags are often duplicated, but never truly replicated. With a price tag of over $20,000, it is easy to understand why they are a favorite of vendors of cheap, imitation handbags. As you are likely aware, these bags are available by special order only. Furthermore, the final costs will very much be dependent on the materials and hardware used in their construction. Wow! Do I need a Sugar Daddy, or what?

If there was one other bag that creeps into my dreams with any regularity, it would be the "Muse" from Yves Saint Laurent. It is very much like a traditional bowling bag in shape and design. The first time I saw her was at Saks on Fifth Ave in NYC, and from that moment I knew one day she would be mine. If I had my way, I would choose the oh-so-supple white crocodile version. I cannot think of anything I would rather spend $20,000 on…aside from the "Birkin" bag mentioned above. Wouldn't I make the perfect girlfriend? Wanna go shopping sometime?

How to Determine if a Site is Selling Authentic Designer Handbags
Author: Asa Noorian
Many websites on the internet sell handbags. Many of them claim they are authentic, some don't exactly say authentic but trick you into thinking replicas are authentic. In reality, it takes a smart shopper to determine which sites can be trusted. Many of the sites do indeed sell authentic handbags at discounted prices, and you shouldn't let a few bad apples ruin your chance at scoring a bargain. Just do your due diligence and you will come out on top -- and with a beautiful handbag that you paid only a fraction of what your girlfriends paid for it.

Here are some simple tips to help you determine whether the site is selling authentic handbags:

1. Guarantee: A web site selling authentic hand bags will always have an authenticity guarantee: Authentic or your money back. For example, at www.LuxEurope.com, there is an authenticity guarantee not once, but 4 times on just the front page. If there isn't one, you should be concerned.

2. Quality: If a website is claiming that their bags are "high quality", then this may be a cause for concern. Designer brand name handbags have a brand for a reason -- the brand speaks for the quality, and it's constant throughout. They may be talking about good quality knockoffs. However, this is not a dealbreaker... it may just be a store owner's mistake.

3. Chinese connections: Chinese companies usually sell fakes. Try going to a WHOIS service (http://www.whois.sc) and enter the domain name. If it's registered to a Chinese company you should be concerned. This is not to say that the Chinese are illegitimate businessmen, but rather, there is less enforcement in China and more availability of fakes.

4. Contact: Any trustworthy web site will list a street address. If a web site does not list a street address or phone number, you should not do business with them. This applies to any online shopping site.

6. Return policy: Stay away from web sites that will not take returns.

There is not one simple formula to determine if the handbags are authentic. It's a matter of your own personal judgment. You should not be afraid of shopping for handbags online because of this. Don't let low prices scare you away -- they can indeed be bought for 70% off retail. However, apply your own judgment and make sure you can contact the company and return the bag should you desire to do so. Read the descriptions, company information, etc. -- don't just look at pictures. If you are confident after viewing all these things, then you should enjoy your purchase and get out there and show off your new authentic handbag!
